Frequently Asked Questions
What is Wisdom, and how does it support aging in place?
Wisdom is a smart home solution for aging in place. Discreet, intelligent sensors learn the routines of an ordinary day, notice meaningful changes, and keep a chosen Trusted Circle informed, without asking the person at home to wear or press anything. The system works in the background and reaches out only when something needs attention.
Does Wisdom require an older adult to wear a device or pendant?
No. Wisdom's in-home system uses intelligent sensors placed in the home, so there is nothing to wear, or remember. That matters because the moments families worry about most, like a middle-of-the-night trip to the bathroom, are exactly when a pendant tends to be sitting on the nightstand. The optional Wisdom Connected Smartwatch extends coverage to wherever they are.
Does Wisdom use cameras or record video?
Who receives Wisdom alerts, and what happens if no one responds?
How is Wisdom different from remote monitoring?
Wisdom is not remote monitoring. Remote monitoring is built around continuous watching. Wisdom is built around awareness, which means it learns what an ordinary day looks like and speaks up when something changes. Most products in this category are designed around the family's reassurance. Wisdom is designed around the authority of the person being supported, who decides who is in the Trusted Circle, what each person sees, and where alerts go.
I don't want my children watching me. Why would I want this?
Wisdom is set up so the person living in the home decides who is in the Trusted Circle and what each of them sees. It is not a video feed of your day, and in Essentials and Essentials Plus there are no cameras at all. What it does is notice a fall, or potential emergency situation, so you can get the support you need when you need it.
How do we choose the right Wisdom package?
Start with what you want to understand. Wisdom Essentials is for an independent older adult and gives awareness of daily activity plus an alert when a day looks different. Wisdom Essentials Plus adds in-home fall detection located to the room and automatic escalation to emergency response when needed. Wisdom Enhanced is for higher-acuity situations that call for more visibility. You can move up as needs change, and the MyWisdom app and your Trusted Circle stay the same, so the first choice is not a permanent one. A Wisdom representative or partner can talk through the options with you and help determine the best configuration for the home.
